Norton injects a virus only they can get rid of, and sometimes they cant even fix their own virus. Norton users switched to Avast, but I do recommend once you have your 3. AVG and Malware Bytes, preferably Spybot. Avast is good for temp. Be careful how you use Avast, and dont depend on it. If you do, it can come back and bite you. Be wary. Review details. I think Avast is the best Antivirus software. I have tried others years back and didnt like them. Review details. This antivirus is great. It doesnt use much memory from the computer. Long scan time, but the results remain accurate. Review details. With the newest version of avast I went through a lot of problems. Installed on a clean Windows 7 machine and that is where the problem started. First I was not sure if the issue was avast, the website or the IE. I thought IE because Chrome did not have same issues. All HTTPs sites were rendered broken and I worked for a long time working this out as I did not try any of them before installing avast. Tried turning off the shields but that did not help. Finally I figured out that if you turn off the avast browser add ons it fixes everything. Erbsen Auf Halb 6. This only effected IE not Chrome which I hate. Of course I know how to deal with this now but for the general non techie how would they ever figure it out. The webpages all had different issues. Some logged you out, some would not display certain things and others just would not work at all. To stop this from happening to anyone else I would highly suggest when installing this version of avast to make sure to do a custom install not the standard install. When you get to the screen that shows the items to be installed uncheck the option to install Browser Protection. You will also not accidentally turn the option on again if you turn it off.

Hello, Im having a problem gaining access to the internet with IE, cannot up date avg 8 for virus protection. I can still go on line through Google Chrome and Im. Lots of time wasted but if this helps someone else great. I almost walked away from avast over this. Faster browser now also. Review details. I have used Avast for years, and recommended it to lots of people. I just replaced a hard drive and and installed Avast. Symantec Antivirus Outlook Protection Uninstall Avg' title='Symantec Antivirus Outlook Protection Uninstall Avg' />Over the last several days, I noticed that when I click on a web site, it is taking painfully long to load. After some searching, the Avast web shield came up as a problem for many folks. I turned it off, and the problem ceased. Same with the mail shield. I do not recall this problem in earlier versions, but it has me considering another program. I cant recommend, without a warning about this issue. Review details. While full featured, the EULA is too wide ranging my opinion in what it allows the software to do. If you are ok with that, then the product is effective. I recommend a custom installation and install only what you need to minimize the footprint. Review details. For years Avast was the only free Anti Virus I would use or recommend. But as of version 8, they lost me. First, I hate the Windows 8 style interface. But more importantly, Avast removed come settings and abilities in version 8 as well. And now with version 9 they have made the registration go through a return email, rather than doing it right within the program, which was far more convenient. And the final reason I am moving away from Avast is that it seems to take longer and longer for Windows to boot up with it installed. Avast won me away from Norton Anti Virus back in the day, simply because it was so fast starting up Windows. This is no longer the case. So the lack of controls that allow you to change settings on ads and pop ups and the more confusing interface might be tolerable, but the slow speed is not. At this point I think AVG, while not quite as good at protection but very close is the way to go. Review details. Avast is fine until you have a problem. The 2 prior viruses that got through, I was able to fix with help that I found on Google. With this latest one I cant get my computer to do a thing and there are so many error messages we cant keep track of them. We called the customer service number we were given when we purchased the upgraded version of avast only to be told that they could help us clear up the virus for an additional 1. I honestly had less problems with Norton but was trying to go a cheaper route. Review details. Hadnt tried it lately but its still as good as ever. Review details. This is simply the best free antivirus there is. There are many free AV tools out there, but this is unbeatable. Its come a long way since being one of the best years ago to take the crown. I liked this so much that upgraded to the paid full suite with firewall. And I have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommended Review details. This is the best program for finding and blocking viruses I have found. I find it to be very user friendly as well as price you cant beat for what it provides is peace of mind for any one that may use a computer weather you are an advanced user on a novice. All you do is register it as a free user for a year and there you are Youre ready to go. Just make sure you set your times for it to do its thing. Review details. For free anti Virus software i feel that this one us unbeatable. Review details. Great program, some excellent new features, and it does not slow my PC down like some other anti virus programs. Review details. I have the Pro version and I love it. Review details. My last review was in 2. Avast, still when Avira was great, however, that has changed, completely. The new Avast is great at detections, non intrusive yet hosts a lot of protection. You would expect this to slow your system down, however, it is very light, surprisingly so for what it packs. It has numerous sheilds and a nice voice that tells you when updates are done, unlike that annoying in your face pop up from others. What I like is the auto sandbox, if you need to or if something is suspicious, Avast will ask if you want to run it in Auto. Sandbox, which is basically a virtual setting so no harm is done to your actual system. And this is in the FREE version How great is that Extremely I find Avast to be one of the best out there. Review details. Trust me, nobody can find a better free antivirus program on the internet. When I checked its rating on. I was suprised to see it with the highest scanning speed even compared to Norton and Kaspersky. It also surpassed every antivirus product in the market in detection rates except GData and Trustport. It may show many fake positives but it is better to be overprotected than not protected at all.
